Last month, based on the encouragement of some of my favorite #BooCrew members, I made a monthly fitness goal list. Like other goal setting sessions of the past, I struggled with finding a suitable ‘reward’ for reaching and achieving my goals. I wish I was the type of person that was satisfied with the knowledge […]
This morning I woke up with the sun streaming through my windows and a tiny newborn baby (Emilia) curled up next to me. The smell of coffee likely woke me from my slumber and for the first time in a while I woke up and didn’t feel like I had not slept at all. I […]
This year back to school looks a little different for half my babes. Owen and Emilia will be homeschooling, Gabriel is doing Seaside Innovative Academy and Julian will be in the traditional setting in HIGH SCHOOL. (Wait, huh????? My first born baby is a freshman in high school? Hold me!) Before you come at me, […]
Yesterday, something miraculous happened in my house. Another project got finished. For about two weeks I’ve had this massive chandelier sitting on my dining room table just waiting for her time to shine. I found her, and fell in love with her on Facebook. We wrapped up the bulk of the laundry room a couple […]
The other day, at a mandatory Destin 30A Mom Blog meeting I was asked what my favorite family tradition is. It took a second to rifle through the traditions that make up our family tapestry and a few came to mind. I of course love our family birthday idea that occurs on October 22 of […]
Have you ever looked at your closet and just wanted to just completely start fresh? Get just the basics and build from there? My best friend Jackie asked me how much I thought it would cost to get a full new wardrobe. Basics, but good quality and enough to mix and match for at least […]

Last night, coyotes were in the woods behind our house. That part isn’t remarkable or unusual in anyway, but the fact that Kipling, our 5 month old puppy, barked and […]

I know I’ve talked about the fact that I’m a little (read a lot) heavier this summer than I was previously. I deemed 2020 the year of consistency, and my naiveté makes me laugh and laugh and then cry a little. It’s really hard to be consistent in the face of a national/worldwide pandemic. That’s […]
I hope and pray you now have that fabulous Salt ‘n Pepa song playing in your head. You’re welcome. Anyway, Father’s Day is quickly approaching and I’m feeling all kinds of blessed and swoony about my husband lately. Maybe it’s the fact that he was gone for four of our eight week quarantine, maybe it’s […]
